Comments Thread For: Cotto Bids Marquez a Kind Farewell Upon Hearing of Retirement

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Although there were multiple discussions, the encounter between legends could not come together between fellow former four division world champions Juan Manuel Marquez and Miguel Cotto. There were serious negotiations last year, but the two boxers could not agree on a catch-weight to make it happen. Marquez was not willing to fight Cotto at anything above the welterweight limit of 147-pounds, while the Puerto Rican star was looking for something around 150 to 154-pounds.

Gracias Miguel!

Both Cotto and Marquez gave we fans a bunch of great fights, win or lose... unlike some who are master duckers and nothing more.

Wishing both champs a great retirement.

The rivalry will always be there but at the end of the day, Ricans respect Mexicans and vice versa.

Its crazy because Cotto and Marquez are 2 of my favorite fighters of all time and we will see neither in the ring again after this year. Lets see what the future brings gents!
